For some, this will happen before the spirit companion even arrives at your home. For others, this will occur some time between a few days to a few months. This variation is driven by the type of spirit companion, in addition to its own unique sociability.
The effort you invest into the relationship is relative what you will receive. In other words, you get what you give.
It is unwise to have others act as a go-between for you and your spirit companion. While channelers, psychics, and readers are valuable, cherished members of the paranormal community, they should never assume your role in creating interaction with your spirit companion. You and you alone must strengthen and grow the paranormal energy necessary for interaction with your spirit companion. Without this crucial element, you will never truly understand your spirit companion and the relationship can falter.
